Do you still Look at PC Keyboard when typing??

Hi LK! When I was in grade school, my auntie always sees to it that I have a worthwhile summer vacation. With that, she would always enroll me to learning schools. One of which is typing lessons. Because of my training, even at a young age, I can type and now encode even without seeing the keyboard. That is also the reason why I can type with the proper finger on every character. I use the little finger to my thumb when typing. Although, with the keyboard, it is not similar to the typewriter that has its level. With the keyboard, the level is the same and flat. With my proficiency in typing, I sometimes close my eyes and rest while I continue to type or watching TV.

Hi LetranKnight! I'm on the category where I learned to type without looking at the keyboard by using a software program called Typing Pal. Also, I practiced my typing skills when I need to get used in typing my papers during my college years. Another factor would be the Typing Maniac game in Facebook. So how many words per minute now that you can muster? Yes, posting here on myLot can really sharpen your typing skills. You never fail to see the great benefits myLot gives to us eh!

Yeah I do, even though I was taught the old fashion way, with keys that were blackened and I had to memorize where each key is, I still look out of habit. This is probably due to many years without typing until I got a computer, so I am out of practice where typing without looking is concerned..

Hi Letran, Be it electronic or other devises, I never went to any center to learn the basics. Before I got my pc I did not know anything as to how things are done there. And slowly I picked up the basics all by myself and same is the story with my car and bike. When I got my own car I asked one guy to show me the basic thing. He took me to a field and after teaching me how to use the first and second gear he stopped and from the field to my house I drove myself and it boosted my moral a lot. Thereafter all the gears and controlling I learnt myself. Now so to say I can type quite fast but I have to look into the key board. What I felt is that the more I write the speedier I will be and soon I will be able to type without looking at the key board.

hi LK, hi LK, depends on my mood. when i am not in a hurry, i dont look at the keyboard. i can type in a relaxed pace of 44 to 50 words per minute. but when i am in a hurry, i get to have lots of typo error but i can type more than that. hence i keep looking at the keyboard. ann

I have passed type higher. My typing speed is 60words per minute with 90percent accuracy. I have five years of typing experience. So i can type by closing my eyes also.

Even before myLot, I have already got accustomed in typing without looking at the keyboard too often. I was an active participants in forums before, a local gaming magazine that I don't know if it is still publishing up to now. They have that site that I got interested in joining and from there, I got to practice my typing skills.

Well good for you. At least myLot gave you touch-typing skill without any cost. Well in my case, I studied dyna-typing so even when the computer has not been invented I already know how to type without looking at the keyboard. It is so slow and a big disadvantage if we still look at the keyboard, is it not? So be happy indeed because you learned it here.

I do the complete reverse..I look at the keyboard and I am able to type correctly without looking at the monitor.I actually did it when typing this very comment. I don't usually use guides for these kind of things as in the end, it still depends upon the person how will he/she do it.

Well i can say when i joined mylot my typing speed was just 20wpm and now it has increase to 45wpm and the most good part about it is that now i am able to type without looking at the keyboard most of the time but still i haven't learned which fingers to used for which keys i know which is recently have started working on that and slowly getting good at it

Hello Knight, I am still looking at my keyboard when typing. But I am trying to avoid once in a while not to look on the keyboard.

Sometimes but since I do MYLOT everyday, I think I became better than I used to be.When I am still working,I used to envy my friends who doesn't look at the keyboard when they are typing, they're so good. But now, I am somewhat proud of myself. Have a nice day!

hi letranknight25, since working as administrator on my office I type without see the keyboard anymore.I used to type fast and many files, so it's very important to focus on monitor to finish my work

I never look at my keyboard when I type anymore. it has been around 2 years since I last even took a look at my keyboard! haha, I know where all the keys are so the only time I ever look is if a friend comes round and I watch him type.

nope and i havent done that for years. i work as a typist in a job outside of my home and i am a pretty fast typist. it is good if you dont have to look at the keys, you get done much faster.

I always look at my keyboard when I am typing. My kids make fun of me. Have a Blessed Day

I don't look at the keyboard when typing. I've had to type so much from the start of using computers for projects/reports and such that I've just picked up on typing fast and not looking at the keyboard, because it does save time. My friend once saw me type and said I should be a secretary or something because I'm so fast with typing up things

At approximately 80 words per minute, I consider myself to be a fairly accurate and well-placed typist. I can survive without looking at the keys, but generally numbers give me some issue. Once you get practice with proper typing in, it surely gets easier as you go.

Yeah, I was not fluent in typing. I always typing things looking at the keyboard. And sometimes, I type the wrong words. :-(

I can't lie, I still look at the keyboard when I type. I can type relatively fast however, like 75 words per minute. If I know what I want to say, however, I don't have to look at the keys when I am typing. I remember taking computer classes in high school, and I would always get into trouble for looking at the keys as I typed, but I was always the fastest typer in the class, so what did I care.
